A Nod To Brent - a friendly thread, filled with frivolity, cream teas and pasties. Longing for the happy days in the South Hams 1947.

O2 on the IOW when CK's boat has come in.

 

According to some, it's not a 40 gun frigate, but a rusty old sludge carrier.

2857 is about to depart from Kidderminster for Stourbridge Junction and Birmingham Snow Hill.

 

Running eleven minutes late, 2857 has been pressed into service to haul the Summer Saturday 1.15 pm Cardiff (General) - Birmingham (Snow Hill) by Cardiff Canton shed due to a lack of more suitable locomotives.

 

(Actually 2857 is about to set off from Kidderminster for Bridgnorth late afternoon July 2013).

Had an enjoyable ride in an autocoach for the first ever behind this nice little engine.

Can I have a chocolate & cream one please.... using modellers licence of course... I'm not counting the rivets :-)

[The Stationmaster]

Evening all,

 

A special treat for tonight - the amazing leaning signalbox of Exminster in its 'will it won't it be preserved' days a few years after closure.  the amzing bit was that it hadn't fallen over as the lean seemed to gradually increase as time went by.  In faded WR 'chocolate & cream' structure colours

 

 

 

[Edwardian]

Well, I'd like to say I've been away doing something interesting.

 

In fact, I have just spent 10 days without broadband, thanks to a "scheduled upgrade" at the exchange that went horribly wrong. 

 

Oh, alright, I admit it, I have been in recovery following a driver experience day on the Bluebell

Looks more like it was it an 'experiencing a driver' day than the other way round.

Made me smile when I heard Facebook were going to add a disagree button. It caused issues on here, just imagine how much grief the trolls will cause on Facebook.

The good morning game with something to jog the memory.

You all know where this is but the loco is rarely seen nowadays. Where is it?

It is now on the Plym Valley.

Good moaning from a sunny ECML location:

 

and I know this isn't a pic on the ECML; I may be daft, but not THAT daft!

Quackers.

Taken on the Corwen extension, Coach? That configuration of river, railway and road looks familiar.

[coachmann]

I've never seen a whole one before, only a rusting hulk at Haworth many years ago. Anything Bulleid does nothing for me, but I must admit this box had a lot more appeal than the rebuilds I was used to seeing in North Wales. Taken on the Corwen extension earlier this year.

You won't like this weekend's photo shoot then.

What were 'they' doing in North Wales Larry?

O.V. Bulleid.

[Mallard60022]

Bulleids were not the only Spams 

I hope 'Mac' won't mind this posting. If he does then I shall remove it immediately.

I'd like to see a 'Rebuilt' one of those!

 

Good afternoon all and just for Larry. attachment=621527:Spam.jpg]

This is the condition most Spams were in by the end of their days in 1967.
